A Mars Global Surveyor image shows an artificial object on Mars that appears to be a base overlooking a canyon. The image was taken by the Mars Orbiter Camera sometime in the period from March-Aug 2000. The image was the subject of a Youtube video released on March 27 where it was described as a flying saucer shaped space craft. Scott Waring from UFO Sightings Daily also studied the image and today in a post claimed the object is a giant UFO disk. The position of the artificial object overlooking a canyon suggests another more likely explanation – a secret observation post on Mars belong to a base.
